I just ordered a personalized diet from Mike Davies at The Fitness Factory.  Anyone have experience with him?  Ive been having a hard time with my diet and Im ready to get shreaded.  Who better to consult than a pro?

I have no problem staying on my diet.  Its just that Im not sure Im eating correctly.  I know for sure Im not eating often enough and I am killing myself to eat over 1100 cal a day.  I think I just need it planned out hour by hour for me.

I checked my bodyfat and its 20%!!!  My ultimate goal is to get under 15% by Chirstmas.  Its really hard right now because Im in my last semester and I have clinicals 3 days a week on top of class.  I know…Im whinning, but I need to vent sometimes.

So, Ive been doing cardio 5x a week and training 3.  Im thinking Im going to change my split to 4x a week and increase the cardio to 6.  Heres my plan:

Mon: Legs/abs/30min jog

Tue: back/bi’s/ 20min HIIT/40min eliptical

Wed: Chest/tri’s/60 min step class

Thu:Shoulders/abs/60 min bodypump class

Fri: 60min bodypump class/60 min step class

Sat: 20 min HIIT/40 min run

Sun: Off

 Any suggestions?

So, I did my first spin class this week.  I have always watched the class through the window at the gym while doing my "traditional" cardio on the treadmill or elliptical.  I have to say it kicked my butt.  And Im really sore today.

We finally made the decision official to move to Tennessee next summer.  So, we put the house on the market and we’re moving into one of our rental houses that just lost the tennant.  Lots of painting and cleaning lately.

Diet is going great.  Ive been staying around 1300 cal / day and 50/30/20.  I increase the carbs on training days.  Ive been doing a lot of HIIT and cardio kickboxing classes for cardio.  I enjoy classes more than cardio alone because it keeps my attention.  I think I have ADD because I get really bored easily. 

Finals this week at school, so I have to go to the gym really early (4:30am).  Ill let you know how that goes

So frustrated….Every time I try to post a blog, I get an error and its erased.  Anyone else having this problem?  Im tired of rewriting.

Holy cow is it raining outside.  There is supposed to be a tropical storm, but its more like a monsoon.  Not too much wind, just tons of rain.  My pool was low yesterday and it is overflowing as we speak. 

I just finished 20min of HIIT and 35min on the elipitcal.  Im not using a trainer anymore, so I can go to the gym at my leisure.  Nice…

Im going to try to make it to body pump today and get in a quick back and bi workout after.  Depends on how the class goes.

So, I tried a 2 hour mix class this week.  It was bodypump for 30 min, bodystep for 30 min, zumba for 30 min, and bodyflow (yoga) for 30 min.  It was great.  I would do that 2 or 3 times a week if they offered it.  Zumba was really fun and Kept my heart rate up more than I expected.  It was too funny.  The class was full; at least 55 people in there and a lot of older people.  I had a blast watching everyone shake their butts.  There was a really old lady in front of me and I had a hard time keeping up with her.  Gotta love that.  I guess b/c I live in Florida, I see a lot of really healthy elderly at my gym.  Its inspirational:)

Anyway, my diet is going great.  I had a cheat day last night.  Its been 3 weeks since Ive cheated, and I worked really hard yesterday, so we had Olive Garden.  Yummy.  I know I shouldnt have my cheat meal so late, but Ill be fine.

School has been really stressful this week.  I had really heavy patients at clinical and worked my butt off.  One of my pts was a 32 yo homeless guy addicted to Oxycontin.  He pulled his lines out and eloped.  I had to call security and do a ton of paperwork.  That sucked.  I love nursing school
